In order to evaluate students in a consistent and fair manner, it is recommended that teachers use rubrics. A rubric is a set of criteria with benchmarks to indicate levels of performance. Rubrics should measure the quality of work produced, rather than the quantity, and should be general enough that they can be used for multiple assessments and can be used to guide longitudinal improvement.
